[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3088119, member: 7900"] Regarding hand thrown hay bales, I was doing that for my then future father-in-law prior to going into the Army's Basic Training at Fort Leonard Wood, MO. Our cadre told us that first day in Basic that we would be in the best shape of our lives after Basic. B.S. I did best in the first PT test that we had, and our second PT test showed that I didn't have the same muscle strength. The final PT test came the day I reported back to the company orderly room after spending a week in isolation at the base hospital. I went in with measles and they put me in with a bunch of guys with pneumonia and upper respiratory infections for that week. When I reported in, the 1st Sergeant said that they had done the PT test the day before and "could I take the PT test with another company." I said I could sure try, so a drill sergeant took me over for the testing. I barely passed. Going back to the company orderly room, I told the sergeant that they should incorporate bale handling to toughen up the troops. I'd never seen that sergeant grin until that day. [/QUOTE]
